FMT:
TAR UC to be funded directly by higher education ministry again
 |
MCA president Wee Ka Siong says the government will ensure that funds were not channelled in an ad hoc manner to third parties who did not own the university |
PETALING JAYA: Putrajaya has agreed to revert to the original funding mechanism for Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC), which will see the higher education ministry channelling allocations directly to the institute.
MCA president Wee Ka Siong said the government would ensure that funds were not channelled in an ad hoc manner to third parties who did not own the university.
He also said the finance ministry had revoked RM18 million from the original RM40 million given by former finance minister Lim Guan Eng to the TARCian Alumni Association Education Trust Fund (TAA-ETF) in 2019.
“The finance ministry will channel the remaining funds for 2019, amounting to RM18 million, which was obtained by TAA-ETF, to the original owner of TAR UC according to the right procedures.
“To show the government’s continuous commitment to TAR UC, allocations for a matching grant worth RM40 million will be channelled to TAR UC through the higher education ministry this year,” he said in a statement today.
He said this was the outcome of several meetings between the TARC Education Foundation’s board of trustees and Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz.
Last year, Wee objected to the finance ministry’s decision to channel the RM40 million allocation to the TAA-ETF, saying the funds were being handed over to an entity outside of TAR UC instead of the university’s management.
Lim had said the money could only be channelled directly to TAR UC if MCA gave up ownership and control of the university’s administration.

Last year in August, eggs rained on Menglembu assemblyperson Steven Chaw's service centre in Ipoh, wakakaka. The man (best unnamed) took his two daughters to the Menglembu service centre, and uploaded a video of him engaging in a foul-mouthed rant before pelting the premise with eggs. I wonder whether he said 'Niamah' or 'TNMKH'? Wakakaka. Anyway, he said: “I voted DAP last year and for the last six general elections. Please DAP, don’t betray us Chinese. We believed what you said.” But Lim GE disappointed the Chinese Malaysians in REFUSING to provide TAR UC with its usual annual matching grant (could that be out of jealousy of MCA's role in setting up TAR UC?). His spiteful move galvanised hawkers into donating at least a day's worth of their sales to TAR UC fund. Shame on him. |

DeleteAahh so now we know why Wee KHAT Siong is so kwai kwai in the PN cabinet, RM18 million to buy MCA's silence and support for the back door "government".
ReplyDeleteAnd Kojadi, MCA's education loan cooperative can keep the stolen 1MDB money. But of course KT knows little about 1MDB.
Who says education and politics don't mix?

Kojadi board 'forced' to sign statement on 1MDB funds, claims its chair
Published 29 Jun 2019
Koperasi Jayadiri Sdn Bhd (Kojadi) chairperson Ng Peng Hay today claimed that board members of the MCA-owned cooperative were forced to sign a statement against him over the 1MDB funds it received.
Yesterday, Ng dropped a bombshell when he claimed MCA president Wee Ka Siong tried to block his meeting with the MACC in a bid to surrender the RM15 million channelled from Yayasan 1MDB to Kojadi.
A statement signed by 11 of the 14 Kojadi board members was later issued denying any interference from Wee.
"Shortly after the issuance of the press statement last night, at about 10.30pm, one of the board members called me to apologise to me that he was 'forced' to sign the press statement," Ng said in a statement.
"Who forced the 11 directors to sign the press statement?... Thankfully, three other directors refused to sign."
The statement also disputed Ng's claim that the Kojadi board had authorised him to meet with the MACC over the funds from 1MDB.
However, Ng explained that the board had authorised him to meet with "relevant authorities" over the matter, which he said would include the MACC.
"I wish to repeat that my intention is to safeguard the interest of Kojadi, by forestalling the listing of Kojadi in the coming MACC list resulting in freezing of Kojadi accounts, which will have a disastrous impact on Kojadi's finances, staff morale, members confidence, payments of salary and collections of loans," he said.

DAP man lodges report against MCA president over 1MDB funds dispute
Published 29 Jun 2019
Federal Territories DAP Youth chief Lee Bing Hong has lodged a police report against MCA president Wee Ka Siong over a dispute brewing at Koperasi Jayadiri Sdn Bhd (Kojadi) in relation to funds it received from 1MDB.
Lee wants police to look into the complaint made by Kojadi chairperson Ng Peng Hay, who said he had proposed to return the RM15 million grant the MCA-owned cooperative received from 1MDB in 2012.
Ng said he was subsequently instructed by the Kojadi board to meet with the MACC on the matter, but was blocked by Wee.
"I ask that the police investigate the MCA president under Section 186, Section 202 and Section 203A of the Penal Code," Lee said in his police report lodged at the Tun HS Lee police station in Kuala Lumpur last night.
Section 186 concerns the obstruction of a public servant in discharging public functions, while Section 202 concerns the intentional omission of information relating to a crime, and Section 203A concerns the disclosure of information.
Ng, who yesterday announced his resignation as an MCA member in protest, claimed he was stopped by Wee before he could set an appointment with the MACC.

"TARUC to receive RM58 million" blares MCA owned STAR.
ReplyDeleteWee KHAT Siong and The Star is making it sound like under Guanee TARUC was deprived of the RM40 million per year and now under MCA they will get RM58 million.
Of course this is utter rubbish. Guanee just directed the RM40 million via an independent Alumni association, it's president being an MCA-life member.
But as it was so late in the year (2019) only RM22 million had been disbursed, and before the remaining RM18 could be disbursed the backdoor government struck.
Now Wee KHAT Siong adds the 2020 RM40 allocation which Guanee had promised and had already been budgeted for is added to RM18 and MCA is crowing as if they have saved TARUC by getting RM58.
No difference in the amount lah. Poor deserving TARUC students didn't lose anything. They would have got 58 anyway. Already budgeted for by Guanee in 2019 and 2020.
The only difference is that the money now flows though MCA's greasy hands.....because MCA operatives dominate the TARUC Board of Trustees.....and Wee KHAT Siong is the Chairman.
Clear Cut Case of Conflict of Interest.
Just like Jerantut Rubber Research Institute RM100 million apporved weeks after the Sheraton Shake.

TAR UC to receive RM58mil
Thursday, 28 May 2020
By ALLISON LAI
PETALING JAYA: Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) will obtain RM58mil from the Finance Ministry for this year, said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
This financial allocation will be fully handled by the owner of TAR UC following a revised decision by the Finance Ministry.
“This means, any disbursement of the financial allocation to TAR UC will return to its original mechanism used by the government from 1969-2018, where the operating and development expenditure will be channelled to the university college through the Higher Education Ministry.
On Nov 22 last year, Lim announced the reinstatement of the RM30mil allocation for TAR UC on the condition MCA relinquished control of the university college.
On Dec 4, Lim raised the amount to RM40mil.
He insisted the fund must be managed by a new trust fund under TAA.
Explaining the RM58mil allocation, Dr Wee said the Finance Ministry retrieved the remaining RM18mil of the RM40mil that Lim allocated to TAA’s trust fund.
“To carry out the government’s commitment since the establishment of TAR UC, previously known as TAR College, a matching grant of RM40mil will be channelled to the university college through the Ministry of Higher Education this year under Budget 2020, ” said Dr Wee, who is also TAR UC Education Foundation Board of Trustees’ chairman.
UNQUOTE
why disbursement of 2019 funds was so late in the year when the OH govt was formed in May 2019?
Deletewhy BS about backdoor govt, when PN govt was only formed in 2020?
it's dawning on everyone (except you wakakaka) that there was heel dragging manoeuvre by the previous PH govt.
KT desperately trying to stay afloat, but the more he flays his arms the deeper he sinks into the quicksand........Guanee already stated as far back as 2018 (for 2019 budget) that MCA had to give up control of TARUC, but more than 1 year later (Dec 2019) Wee KHAT Siong still degil, so it was MCA that was dragging feet.
DeleteTeo Nie Ching already detailed how the 40 million was allocated to needy students and TARUC staff. Nobody lost anything except the TARUC Board of Trustees who lost face and the poor hawkers who were duped into making unnecessary donations.
So let's hear what the new Deputy Education minister MCA's Mah Hang Soon has to say.....he will probably claim credit for 58m too, the 58m that Guanee had approved (without Toonsie being consulted...ha ha ha...).
the 58m that Guanee had approved???
DeleteKerbau lah - couldn't even pay up the FULL 40 million in 2019
and you dare claim Guan Eng approved the new 40 million in 2020?
what a shameless kerbau
Not kerbau, confirmed by Teo Nie Ching below which I repeat.
DeleteGuanee budgeted 40 mil in 2019, 40 mil in 2020.
QUOTE
Teo pointed out that the current government had not increased its allocation for the university, as its contributions for the year 2020 was still RM40 million, rather than RM58 million.
“The RM58 million announced by Wee includes RM18 million which was taken back from the remaining balance of RM40 million channelled to TAA-ETF in 2019.
“Therefore, the allocation for the year 2020 should only be announced as RM40 million.”

ReplyDeleteBe transparent about how you use TAR UC funds, ex-deputy minister tells MCA
FMT Reporters -May 27, 2020
PETALING JAYA: Former deputy education minister Teo Nie Ching today urged MCA to exercise transparency in its management of allocations amounting to RM58 million from Putrajaya to the Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC).
In a statement today, she also explained how the RM40 million given by the Pakatan Harapan government to the TARCian Alumni Association Education Trust Fund (TAA-ETF) was spent for the benefit of the university.
She said RM21 million was spent on student bursaries and RM1 million on RM600 achievement awards for TAR UC employees.
She said the remaining RM18 million, which has since been revoked by the finance ministry, was supposed to be given to eligible students, with each individual receiving RM500.
“Now the allocation is being transferred from the TAA-ETF, which is handled and managed by professionals and successful TAR UC alumni, to the TARC Education Foundation, which is solely controlled by MCA.
“Would MCA exercise the same degree of transparency and explain how it is going to use the RM58 million allocation?”
Teo also asked if the TARC Education Foundation would continue to give RM500 handouts to eligible students and offer discounts for tuition fees in view of the movement control order.
This comes after Putrajaya agreed to revert to the original funding mechanism for the university, which will see the higher education ministry channelling the allocations to TAR UC.
MCA president Wee Ka Siong said the RM18 million that TAA-ETF was supposed to receive but has since been revoked by the finance ministry will be channelled instead to “the original owner” of TAR UC — the TARC Education Foundation.
“To show the government’s continuous commitment to TAR UC, allocations for a matching grant worth RM40 million will be channelled to TAR UC through the higher education ministry this year,” he had said earlier in a statement today.
Teo pointed out that the current government had not increased its allocation for the university, as its contributions for the year 2020 was still RM40 million, rather than RM58 million.
“The RM58 million announced by Wee includes RM18 million which was taken back from the remaining balance of RM40 million channelled to TAA-ETF in 2019.
“Therefore, the allocation for the year 2020 should only be announced as RM40 million.”

what's the big deal? they each have their own way of disbursing the scrap compared to other institutions, taruc still got their allocation, we just need to decide which is more transparent and less likely to abuse, I still feel pH is more transparent, notice how when a malay fm gives the allocation pas is chuffed, hardly a noise, first class trouble makers
ReplyDeleteNo need to throw eggs lah, MCA fooling and collecting donations from poor hawkers...under Guanee 40 million a year given to TARUC....no difference from before...he only removed MCA politicians from the money flow, Wee KHAT Siong is talking bovine rubbish. Conflict of Interest, maybe bribe (KT's word not mine) like Jerantut Rubber Research Institute RM100 million.
